: I put my boat name on the kayak yesterday and this is what did and didn't
: work for me. I tried toilet tissue paper taped to printing paper and run
: it through the inkjet printer but the second layer of the two layer tissue
: kept tearing up in the printer. Then I tried tracing paper which printed
: out well but didn't wet out enough to suit me. Finally, I taped Christmas
: wrapping paper to inkjet printing paper and it printed out well and also
: wetted out real good.

John,
What I did was to take rice paper and tape it to a piece of copy paper on all edges and run it through the copy machine. After a couple of tries I got it down pat on how to hold the paper just right in the manual feed so it passed through without wrinkles. It would not work in the standard paper tray. My ink jet caused the designs to weep when I applied the epoxy on some test tries. Which inks do you use in your printer?
